Creating a fictional world is like building a giant playground, you just need to know where to start!
- Pick your main characters and their favorite games: Just like how you pick your friends for tag or hide-and-seek, you choose who lives in your world and what they do every day. Maybe there’s a boy who loves climbing trees, or a girl who always wins at hopscotch, these are the start of your characters.
- Build the places where the games happen: Think about how your playground has swings, slides, and sandboxes. Your fictional world needs places, too, maybe a big mountain to climb or a deep lake for swimming. These spots help your characters have fun and go on adventures!
- Add some rules so everyone knows how to play: Sometimes you agree that tag only lasts for 10 seconds, or that the slide can only be used by one person at a time. In your world, these are like rules, they make everything fair and exciting.
Now your playground is ready! You can have big adventures with your friends, just like in your fictional world. Creating a fictional world is like building a giant playground, you just need to know where to start!
